Abstract

Methods and systems for a hydromechanical transmission in a vehicle are provided herein. In one example, the transmission system includes a hydrostatic assembly with a hydraulic pump in fluidic communication with a hydraulic motor. The transmission system further includes a controller configured to selectively transition between a torque control mode and a speed control mode of the hydrostatic assembly while the vehicle is on a slope.
